First Aid Kit

First Aid Kit

In our family, summertime is when most of our injuries occur, but we have to be prepared all year long.  After all, with two toddler boys, it’s nearly impossible to avoid booboos.  If we are not prepared our kids could end up very unhappy, and when they’re unhappy, we’re unhappy. 


I have compiled a list of items that are very important to have within moments of an injury.  Whether you are at the playground, a friend’s house or even outside at home, a first aid kit is a necessity.  You can find a very inexpensive empty case at a dollar store or other discount store.  I highly recommend placing the following in a “kit” of sorts.

 

  • Band-Aids in a variety of sizes, preferably character, colorful and fun ones
  • Gauze pads in a variety of sizes
  • Antibiotic ointment
  • Antibacterial wipes
  • Antibacterial hand sanitizer
  • Anti-itch lotion
  • Burn gel
  • Tweezers
  • Thermometer
  • Instant cold packs

In addition, I always carry suntan lotion, bug spray, Wet-Ones and tissues in my vehicle. 

If building your own first aid kit seems daunting, you can buy great “already prepared” kits.  I have found one of the best sites for kid’s first aid kits to be www.mypreciouskid.com/first-aid-kit.html.


Be safe!

All Natural Cherry Pit Packs

All Natural Cherry Pit Packs

The

 

Kidz Heat & Cool Pack has been one of our most successful products. What a nice alternative to ice packs and other booboo aids. They offer natural pain relief for kids and adults alike. They are filled with cherry pits which are uniquely able to retain and slowly release either heat or cold. They safely sooth aches and pains. Because these Kidz Heat & Cool Packs are filled with cherry pits, they conform to the area of the body that is being treated. Just read one of our Kidz Heat & Cool Pack reviews HERE.

We had made these Kidz Heat & Cool Packs for our own two boys, just like we had first made our exclusive Bed Bumper for Big Kids for our own boys prior to ever considering making a business out of it. The creation of these great, all natural cherry pit packs was spurred by sleep time leg cramps that our boys always had after a long and active day. We began to realize how useful they were for many other things.

They are reusable…that is always a fantastic feature. They have many first aid uses. Here are just a few of them:

  • Bumps, bangs and bruises
  • Muscular pains
  • Cramps
  • Headaches
  • Leg aches (often referred to as growing pains)
  • Earaches
  • Colic in babies

Yes, they even offer relief to babies who may be experiencing colic. By placing a warmed Kidz Heat & Cool Pack on their bellies for just a few minutes, they are often soothed back into calmness.

These Kidz Heat & Cool Packs have so many great features that it makes it very easy to want to buy one (or MORE!) They are lightweight and filled with 100% natural cherry pits. They have no added chemicals and, like all our products, they are made in the USA! They can be machine washed and dried, making cleaning the Kidz Heat & Cool Packs very simple.

Visit our site today to check out the large variety of themes to choose from. Our kids love them and we know yours will too. Shop Today.
